It seems that the fund was well intentioned to help those minority business women, but funds like these are a slippery slope because of the exclusive bias. Black culture will always be subjective because they don't have a standard. There are certain groups within the culture who feel excluded from mainstream regardless of how successful they are. So they need special treatment because of their race. That causes them to be focused on just one superficial thing instead of applying themselves and presenting an idea to any venture capital firm for money. Raise your game.
No one ever gave me deference because of my race. That is how I reached grad school. People, mostly whites, did not care about my feelings. So they gave me honest feedback, which helped me get better at what I've been doing.
So I understand both sides of the argument concerning the lawsuit. But doesn't special treatment make people lazy? That doubt is such a huge burden. Do you want to gain something based on merit or just your race???
Here is a link to a video where Shelby Steele speaks about racial identity and freedom.
